Walker was clocked in 3 minutes, 56.2 seconds as he fought off hrsk winds. Stones soared 7 feet, 7i inches to smash his own world record, just four days after rain washed away his gold medal hopes in the Montreal Olympoc Games. The amazing Stones electrified the crowd of 13,772 with an incredible leap that topped the record he set in the NCAA chamiponships here. Heavily favored in the Olympics, Stones looked sharp in Montreal until a rainstorm created puddles on the jumping surface and prevented him from clearing 7 feet, 3% inches. He settled for the bronze, be- hind Jacek Wxzola of Poland and Canada's Greg Joy. But, Wednesday night the 22-year-old showed his mastery by clearing 7-7%/4 on his first jump. He took only nine jumps and had just one miss. The elated Stones, wearing a warm-up shirt, that said, "Stones and Mickey Mouse are No. 1," took a victory lap after his jimp bit did not attempt a higher height. The senior at long Beach State jiggled the har on his record attempt, which was measured at 2.32 meters, one centimeter over his previous mar. The new mark was one-quarter inch higher than the world mark Stones set at this same Franklin Field location exactly two months ago. Moments later, the excited Stones told the crowd over the public address system that he had become concerned after placing third in the Olympics. "I wondered if I ever would be able to shake down the depression I felt there," he said. "But the charisma that you people showed me tonight was just what I need- ed. I feel so many vibrations now that I can clear that height three or four more times tonight." "If I was going to lose, today was the time," said Walker. "I've been on anti- bioctics for three days with the flu, but I had the commitment." Walker, gold medalist in the 1,511 at Mon- treal, was content to let Bryon Lyce of Jamaica set the pace for the first three laps and then when Paul Heinz-Wellman of West Germany took the lead on the final back- stretch, Walker moved up to challenge. On the final turn, Walker raced to the front as Wellman held off New Zealander Rod Dixon for second. Wellman ran 3:56.3 and Dixon was timed in 3:56.4. Earlier in the evening, a number of other Olympians withdrew from the meet at the last minute, including 200-meter gold me- dalist Don Quarrie of Jamaica and 400- meter hurdles gold medal winner Edwin Moses- Steve Riddick, a member of the United St-te's winning 400-meter relay team, captured the 100-meter dash in 10.24 as Steve Williams pulled up with a slight injury but placed fourth. Williams was attempting a comeback af- ter the heavily favored sprinter failed to make the U.S. team. Mike Boit of Kenya, who didn't compete in the Olympics because his nation pulled out in a political dispute, won the 800 in 1:46.1. And Francie Larrieu of Long Beach, Calif., defeated West Germany's Helen Wellman in the women's 800 in 2:04.2.
